God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
We do know that Jesus' prayerful waiting for God's instructions freed Him from the tyranny of the urgent. It gave Him a sense of direction, a steady pace, and enabled Him to do every task God assigned. And on the last night He could say, 'I have finished the work which Thou gavest me to do.'
Where there is grace there will be conflict. The believer is a soldier. There is no holiness without a warfare. Saved souls will always be found to have fought a fight.
